I just want to tell you a little story.
I am on disability, and am unable to go very many places, but last summer I went up to my mother in laws house in Marlette, MI, a small farming town, just half way up to the thumb, about 70 Miles from where I live in Fraser. My Mother in law lets people who own hundreds of cows use her land. She has an electric wire fence around her yard so the cows and bulls cannot get out. When I was up there, I went and sat one foot from the fence in a blue jacket. My mother in law yells out and said they are attracted to red. I had forgotten that. So I put on a red jacket and sat there for about ten minutes. In that ten minutes, the cows and bulls started coming to the fence, imagine having about 30 or 40 2,000 lb bulls and cows ten feet in front of you while you are sitting on the ground, and if you had to get up because they were going to rush the fence, you would not be able to. This part of the country is beautiful, trees and animals everywhere you can see. I have pictures of the cows that are right in front of me, and I will never forget that experience.
